Configure Azure

Publish to Azure

Rebuild your Solution in VS.Net 2010 and click ‘Publish’

Create a new certificate

Click on View and Save the certificate to a file (*.cer file)

One of the best practices is to create a ‘Solution Folder’ in your Solution and place these files there. This ensures your certificates are source controlled. Note there’s no way to download a certificate back (as of this writing) from Azure Management Portal

Upload the certificate to Management Certificate section in the management portal

From management portal get your subscription ID (available in the properties of the root node called Subscription)

It should authenticate and the Storage account dropdown should list the accounts you’ve created before. Select the account shown.

Click on remote configure link

Create another certificate for remote access

Click on View and save the certificate with Private key (the password you provide here will be needed when you upload the certificate to Azure portal) (*.pfx)

Upload the certificate under Certificate Folder under your Hosted Service
